Whitehouse, a former energy manager at Exeter University, helped to block Waterloo Bridge for eight days.

During that time the area was covered in plants and greenery, hosted a skate park, drummers, musicians and street performers. Protesters held discussions and a so-called 'people’s assembly' during which they shared their worries about climate change for their children and grandchildren.

Whitehouse appeared in front of District Judge Devinder Sandhu with three other protesters.

One protestor, Elliot Cuciurean, pleaded guilty and received a conditional discharge and costs. The other three protesters deny the charges against them and are due to face trial relying on a human rights defence at Hendon Magistrates’ Court on June 28.
